Able Sea. William Owen . Royal Navy HMS Indefatigable My Dad Bill Owen was on the communications between the aircraft and the carrier, HMS Indefatigable but had to be relieved from duty as being a northerner as the pilots could not understand him.
On the day of the kamikaze hit, the position he would have occupied, if he had not have been demoted, was hit by the plane and his replacement was killed.

Pte. James Owens . British Army Cheshire Regiment from Bebibngton I have some details about my late father-in-law, James Owens. He was a gunner in the Cheshire Regiment, captured 29th of May 1940 and survived 5 years as a POW (acted as interpreter, thereby earning 'extras' despite knowing no German until he arrived at the camp). He later became part of the Long March into Germany as the war began to end during which many prisoners and some German guards died too from exhaustion, starvation and hyperthermia.
I have his service and pay book and a book gifted to him during his time as a POW by Red Cross entitled, The Autobiography of a Chinese Girl, which has a kind of official sticker:
"P/W 467. Pte. J. Owens Stalag XXID (13)"
While he was grateful, at the time, for such a gift, he never read it!
I also have his memoires of his war which he recorded by hand 1984 and were later typed up but remain unedited.
He married 1950 and had a son, my late husband. He died aged 74 in 1993. I believe his privations and experiences as prisoner, held for 5 years scarred him terribly. He had a recurring nightmare about losing his pack. He suffered flash-backs and depression, classic PTSD symptoms but of course, like his fellows, he never complained. He did not seem to bear any grudges against Germans either.
It makes me laugh to recall how when news of Allied defeats and Nazi victories etc were announced at roll call, the prisoners would cheer wildly much to the bewilderment of the guards who never got British humour.

Capt. Roger Lightfoot Oyston . British Army 2nd Btn. Derbyshire Yeomanry (d.19th Jun 1944) I am trying to find out about the war history of my father and also if possible to locate some existing English family members of my father - Roger Lightfoot Oyston, who died in June, 1944 on D day in Normandy.
I was born in September 1944. Three years later my mother remarried and moved with her children and new husband back to her family in Melbourne, Australia. My step-father was John Balawaider - a demobbed member of the Polish Air Force, who had been stationed in Britain.
It would be of great value to me to discover any information about my father and his family. He was born in 1912, in Bridlington, Yorkshire, travelling to Australia prior to WW2, where he met my mother. They moved to Britain where my mother lived until 1947.
I have a commemorative certificate bequethed by my mother that states that my father died for his "King and Country" as a member of the Derbyshire Yeomanry.
My mother's name was Sheila Florance. She built up a singular career as an actress, most notably in "Prisoner" in Australia and also internationally.
